Mike Wagner usually wears a plaid shirt, blue jeans and work boots, but this weekend is different.
Accompanying his long black and gray beard trimmed and groomed the diesel mechanic and businessman from Hays has acquired more of an Ivy League wardrobe for the grand opening of St. John’s Military School Historical Museum.
For much of the three days packed with events many of them aiming to raise money for the museum the 1991 SJMS graduate will don suits and neckties to greet his beloved cadet-mates, former faculty and staff, and supporters, when they visit the old campus in north Salina.
Emmanuel Manny Torres will be forever loved and never forgotten, his grandmother, Trecie Moore, said recently on her Facebook page.
Manny was shot to death at age 16 on April 15, becoming the second member of his family to die by homicide in the past 10 months.
Manny s uncle, Ricardo J. Rodriguez, died at age 20 last June in a traffic crash, which was also declared a homicide. The alleged driver in that crash goes to trial next month.
But no arrests have been made in this month s shooting death, and the family wants justice for Manny, said Trista Jasso, who was Manny s aunt and Ricardo s sister.
